Last November the American Bible Society participated in the first Faith & Family Night at an NBA New Orleans Hornets home game against the San Antonio Spurs. Word Entertainment provided a postgame concert featuring Point of Grace. Peter Goldsberry, senior vice president of the Hornets, said, “I’m a man of God. . . . I was brought to tears [not because the Hornets lost, but because] the American Bible Society was handing out the Psalms to thousands of people.” Volunteers wore Take the Word Challenge T-shirts with the American Bible Society logo.
